Frequently asked questions

Q1: Nick Fuentes isn't a white nationalist/white supremacist. Will someone please change the article's description of him?

A1: Reliable sources describe Fuentes as such, and thus so does Wikipedia. See also WP:SNOWBALL.

Q2: The article's sources have a left-wing bias, or are otherwise unreliable. If Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, shouldn't the sources used in the article be more balanced?

A2: Neutrality and balance are not the same thing; see WP:FRINGE and WP:FALSEBALANCE. For a general guide on which sources are considered reliable and unreliable according to community consensus, see WP:RS/PS.

Early and personal Life

This article falsely claims he did not continue his education after 2017. According to his House Deposition, he completed an Associates Degree from College of Dupage in 2019. This should be updated. https://january6th-benniethompson.house.gov/sites/democrats.january6th.house.gov/files/20220216_Nicholas%20J.%20Fuentes.pdf Jingle38 (talk) 20:50, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – this may be true, but a deposition is a WP:QUESTIONABLE source. WP:BLPPRIMARY states: Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Primary sources of this nature are unreliable because the individual can claim anything they like, see WP:WPNOTRS. If there are any secondary source publications that report on the Dupage degree, it can be included then. Zenomonoz (talk) 23:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what secondary source you expect would be reporting on him getting a degree from College of Dupage, because it's not particuarly newsworthy information. However, the problem is that the article states "he did not continue his education" which is probably false information based on the best available information. I don't think Wikipedia should have blatantly false information, even if the best alternative source is a congressional testimony. Jingle38 (talk) 22:13, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jingle38, if it's not in a secondary source, well--then really it shouldn't be here. A deposition doesn't count; those are his own words. I tweaked the sentence, nonetheless. I would, however, like for you to tone it down a bit, all this "falsely claims" and "blatantly false information". We're all volunteers here. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:25, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No sources

In the beginning of the article it says "Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right[5] political commentator and live streamer who is known for his white supremacist, misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, and islamophobic views." No sources in this Wikipedia article say he's known for homophobic, Islam phobic, or misogynistic content. The sources only say he's known for anti-Semitism. This article should get fixed AwesomeJewishMan446 (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Continue reading the article beyond the lead, including Nick Fuentes#Political views. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The lead does not require citation if it is cited in the body. Cheers. Zenomonoz (talk) 23:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't say anything about hating Muslims. Why is Islamophobia on the lead? AwesomeJewishMan446 (talk) 04:46, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also just because he doesn't agree with feminists, that doesn't mean he's misogynistic. What happened to providing sources in articles. And this article should mention how Nick Fuentes likes Hitler AwesomeJewishMan446 (talk) 04:49, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Raise your hand if you're surprised to learn this was a sock account of a troll. Muboshgu, you? Drmies (talk) 22:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Fuentes is 5’5” 24.54.162.53 (talk) 05:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have not provided a source to support this claim. Even if provided, it still would likely not merit inclusion. This is a political pundit, not a basketball star. Zaathras (talk) 05:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New line anywhere - Fuentes calls for "execution/death penalty/annihilation of non-christians/jewish peoples"

Hello,

The title says it all, and I do not wish, nor want to explain it further due to the ridiculousness absurdity and outlandishness of it all. Just read the article and social media video I have taken the liberty to include below.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/nick-fuentes-jews-executed-1234925748/

https://twitter.com/RepRaskin/status/1734720913713635493 2601:601:A400:D4A0:DDC2:8CE4:C53B:22AB (talk) 14:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be frank, this statement is so normal coming out of Fuentes that it might not even warrant a mention. I added it anyways. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 21:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is indubitably unfortunate that it is so now adays if I may say. 2601:601:A400:D4A0:DDAC:8D17:DB47:A138 (talk) 04:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image for the article

Hey, just wondering if there's any particular reason for why the image for this article is so crappy. Every other member of his "clique" (e.g. Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Richard Spencer) has a better picture on their article. Do we not have higher quality pictures to use? Liskers (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it’s because it’s a Creative Commons image from a YouTube video (which itself was CC 3.0). Until somebody uploads a better image to wikimedia commons, it will be used. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 January 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Nick Fuentes. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please add the following text to the January 6 section (please note that <ref name=":6"> is not a typo, I am citing a source that is already in the article):

"According to several media outlets, Fuentes was part of the mob that attacked the Capitol.^[1]^[2] The Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Fuentes was "visible in both livestreams and images amidst a mob of pro-Trump insurrectionists...wearing what appears to be a VIP badge".^[3] Although he did not enter the building, he allegedly shouted encouragement for the rioters to "keep moving towards the Capitol" and that they were "taking the Capitol back".<ref name=":6"> Fuentes himself admitted being present during the attack but denied criminal conduct.^[1]"
